Lubricants minimize friction during pharmaceutical manufacturing processes like tablet compression and capsule filling. This leads to increased efficiency, reduced equipment wear, and improved product consistency.
Lubricants reduce friction between powder particles and between the powder and equipment surfaces during tablet compression and capsule filling. This facilitates the flow of the powder, prevents sticking to the punches and dies in tablet presses, and ensures smoother ejection of tablets or filling of capsules. The overall outcome is improved manufacturing efficiency, reduced wear and tear on equipment, and consistent product quality.
